AI Summary

This bill amends Section 25A of Chapter 138 of the General Laws in Massachusetts. It prohibits alcoholic beverage licensees from giving money or anything of substantial value to induce a person to persuade or influence another person to purchase or refrain from purchasing a particular brand or kind of alcoholic beverage. This includes furnishing a retailer with human resources to perform merchandising or other functions, with the expectation of stocking, rotation, or pricing services of the industry member's own product.
